Herb Gardening - Common Herbs – Basil, Dill
Growing an herb garden is easy. A lot comes up every year because they are hardy. Parsley and dill you may have to plant again every year. Basil, oregano, chives come up every years and do well in all kinds of soils.
Basil flourishes in warm soil and produces dark green to purple leaves and grows white flowers on 1-2 foot stalks.
Dill loves the full sun and produces blue-green feathery leaves and doesn’t require much care other than thinning. It has cluster of yellow flowers. After the dill has flowered gather the seeds for next year’s plantings by cutting the flowers and hanging them upside down over paper to collect the seeds.
